THE MICHIGAN DAILY jVEDNESDAY, APRIL Z2, 1936 Spartan Upset Scored As Rodriguez Loses Match Capt. Howie Kahn, Playing In No. 2 Position, Beaten In Straight Sets Thorward Stands Out Cverpowers Eissler And Teams With Jesse Flick To Win In Doubles Tennis Team Drubs Wolverines In Opener,_6 To 3 Fraternity Softball Teams Open Intramural Spring Program Il 'The HOT STOVE By BILL REED- l I FAST LANSING, April 21. - Mich- igan State's tennis team avenged last year's pair of defeats when they soundly trounced the Varsity netters, 6-3, today on the cold, windswept courts here. The defeat was some- thing of an upset since the Michigan squad had entered the meet as the favorites. Willard Klunzinger beat Johnny Rodriguez, 6-4, 6-4, in the feature match of the day. Klunzinger, a vast- ly improved player over the one that Siegel defeated 6-4, 6-0, in the first match last year, was just too good for Rodriguez, who was playing in the No. 1 position for the first time. Captain Howie Kahn, playing in the No. 2 position, ran into a little too much competition in the form of Captain Rosa of the Michigan State team and went down to defeat in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5. Kahn seemed to be having trouble with his fore- hand but should be able to iron out this difficulty before the next meet with Western State Friday. The brightest spot in the defeat for the Wolverine team was the play of Ted Thorward. Thorward over- powered his opponent, Eissler, to win in two sets, 6-3, 6-3. He then teamed up with Jesse Flick to win Michigan's only doubles match, defeating Eis- sler and Hyatt, 6-3, 11-9. Thorward has shown up well as a tournament player thus far this sea- son, having also been a singles and doubles winner in the last indoor meet with the Detroit Tennis Club. His practice in California last fall seems to have polished off his. game and given him a confidence that will make him hard to beat in the coming matches. Miller Sherwood also showed up well in outlasting Schultz, 6-1, 5-7, 6-3. SUMMARJES Singles: Klunzinger (S) d. Rodriguez (M) 6-4, 7-5. Rosa (S) d. Kahn (M) 6-4, 7-5. Sherwood (M) d.

Athletics Head For Wiscousj MADISON, Wis., April 21--/P)- Harry A. Stuhldreher, one of Notre Dame's famed "Four Horsemen," was appointed Athletic Director and foot- ball coach at the University of Wis- consin today. The Board of Regents approved the appointment of the Villanovan Col- lege coach after the Athletic Board had recommended his selection unan- imously from a field of 50 candidates. He takcs over the directorship formerly held by Dr. Walter E. Meanwell and the coaching job of Dr. Clarence W. Spears, both of whom were central figures in Wis- consin's recent athletic department controversy. The All-American quarterback of 1924, who has turned out consistently strong teams in his 11 years at Vil- lanova, will come to Wisconsin May 1. His teams have v on 65 games, including a winning streak of 24 con- secutive games, lost 24 and tied 10. "Of course, I'm gad to be at Wis- consin," Stuhldreher commented at Villanova, "but I hate to leave my pleasant associations here." "The selection of Mr. Stuhldreher is the result of careful and exhaustive examination of the field by the Ath- letic Board," resident Glenn Frank said in his official announcement. "I am impressed," he continued, with Stuhldreher's intellectual alert- ness, his wide range of interests, his concept of the place of athletics in the lives of students and the life of +fP TUnnversityr hissinrcerity t.he THE earliest days of the Big Ten Conference are graphically told in correspondence form, in letters from the collection of President An- gell, now in the possession of H. P. Wagner, chief accountant of the Uni- versity. The Western Conference, or more formally, the Intercollegiate Con- ference of Faculty Representatives, came into existence as a result of a meeting of the presidents of middle western universities, called Jan. 11, 1895, by President J. H. Smart, of Purdue University. The letters of President Smart to President Angell, inviting the University of Michigan to attend that original conference, are among those in the Angell col- lection. The first letter is dated Nov. 26, 1894, and sounds out the presidents at Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois State, Chicago and North- western on "a subject which is of common interest to all colleges en- gaged in interstate athletic con- tests." k "IT SEEMS TO ME," President Smart's letter says, "that the question of the qualification of play- ers should be placed upon some com- mon basis." Also, "another question of much greater importance is the relation which our teams shall sus- tain to the professional and semi- professional teams. These are springing up very rapidly and there will be a great inclination on the part of our students to play with them." President Angell's reply to the suggestion that the presidents of the several schools confer on some codification of athletic re- lationships, although not avail- able, was apparently favorable, for on Dec. 13 President Smart wrote again to say that "the pres- idents of all the colleges named in I my letter to you . . . . have ex- pressed a deep interest in the proposed meeting to be held for the purpose of adopting some joint regulations concer'ning in- tercollegiate athletics. "The purpose of our meeting, of course, is to formulate general rules that shall govern all the institutions represented alike; but I have thought that if the leading institutions should adopt a code it would be quite likely to be adopted by a large majority of, the smaller colleges, and thus, while helping ourselves, we could do a larg- er work in helping smaller institu- tions to solve some difficult problems which are now confronting them."1 The date set for the meeting men-, tioned was Jan. 11, 1895. ALTHOUGH President Angell's re sponses were aparently favor- able, Michigan was not represneted at the president's conference. Present at that meeting, according to the of- ficial history of the Conference, were representatives of Purdue, Lake For- est, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Chicago, Northwestern and Illinois. Files of The Michigan Daily do not disclose any reason for Mich- igan's failure to be represented at the presidents' conference. Michigan, however, was represent- ed at the next and organization meet- ing of the Conference Feb. 8, 1896, replacing Lake Forest. It was at that meeting that the formal name, Intercollegiate Conference of Fac- ulty Representatives was adopted. - - - - - - - - - - 22 Squads See Action; Phi Psi's Title Defenders Chi Phi's Lose To Champs As Andros Lacks 'Stuff'; Dekes, Delta Sig's Win With a heavy west wind sweeping across South Ferry Field 22 fraternity softball teams swung into action yes- tuerday to open the Intramural Sport department's Spring athletic pro- gram. Phi Kappa Psi, defending its 1935 crown, jumped on the offerings of George Andros in the feature game of the afternoon to defeat Chi, Phi by a 14 to 8 score in a free-hitting game that saw seven home runs ac- counting over half of the scoring. In the, other outstanding contests Delta Kappa Epsilon won over Phi Beta Delta, 6 to 1; Theta Xi, one of last year's league champions, was shut out, 12 to 0; and Delta Sigma Pi overwhelmed Zeta Psi, 13 to 1. Phi Psi's Get 13 Hits With Andros lacking his usual "stuff" the Phi Psi's hit almost at will, pounding out 13 safeties. John- ny McKee andFred Schwartze led the winners at the plate, the former col- lecting two homers and a double, and the latter hitting a home run, a double, and a single. Bill Griffith looked good at shortstop for the champions, while Chuck McHugh, short fielder, and Bill Orr, first base- man, starred for Chi Phi in the field. Phi Psi opened the game with Jack Payton and McKee driving out home runs but the Chi Phi pitcher settled down to retire the side, striking out Dave Barnett, forcing Griffiths to foul out, and allowing Schwarze to pole the ball to short left field, Mc- Hugh coming over fast to make the catch, the best of the game. Guard Slocum put down the losers in order in their half of the first. In the second inning Chi Phi came back to score three runs, but lost their lead in the next stanza never to threaten the champions again. Dekes Came From Behind The Dekes, led by Earl Townsend who held the Phi B.D.'s to two hits and hit a home run himself, came from behind in the third inning to tie the score and then went ahead in the fourth to 'win. Al Blumenfeld, pitcher for the losers, allowed only four hits but was given poor support. In the fourth inning, when the Dekes scored three runs, only one clean hit was recorded, fielding errors giving the winners their lead. Leonard Meldman, the Phi B.D.'s center fielder, was outstanding on defense. Earl Townsend struck out seven men while Blumenfeld fanned four. With Ron Wolf pitching three-hit ball, Delta Sigma Pi encountered little opposition from Zeta Psi. Russ Duf- fenbeck and John Ferdian were the batting stars for the victors, Dunna- beck poling out a long home run as one of three hits. Wolf struck out 11 men, never let- ing the game get out of control. Other scores: Delta Tan Delta 11, Tau Kappa Epsilon 4. Sigma Phi 9. Zeta Beta Tau 4. Phi Sigma Delta 14, Alpha Kappa Lambda 10. Chi Psi 10, Alpha Omega 1. Psi Upsilon 17, Sigma Alpha Mu 5. Phi Delta Theta 11, Trigon 6. Sigma Chi I, Kappa Nu 11.

Golfers Open Against State Here April 25 Michigan State will bring nine golfers to oppose Michigan in the opening dual meet of the 1936 season, to be played over the University Golf Course Saturday afternoon, accord- ing to word received here by Coach Ray Courtright yesterday. This is the largest team ever to play in a dual meet here, and there will be 39 points out. Coach Courtright is pleased at the decision of the Spartans to bring nine men t o Ann Arbor, because it will enable him to use practically every man on his squad and get an idea of the capabilities of several golfers who have not appeared in competition for Michigan. Capt. Chuck Koesis will be at number one Saturday, followed by Woody Malloy, but the rest of the positions will not be determined until scores are posted later in the week. The Varsity worked out for the first time Monday, but have played only practice rounds without posting any cards. The greens as yet have not rounded into shape and are not conducive to good putting, but should be in fine condiion after a couple of mfowings. Sat 1r'dav's l(I, will see singles and doubles played at the same time in four best-ball foursomes, with the ninth man on both teams going out in .a twosome. Medal play will be used throughout. Coach Courtright will take five men to Lafayette, Ind., Sunday for the first Conference dual meet. of the year against Purdue to be played Monday.
